Modeling and simulation of electric car penetration in the distribution power system — Case study

In the coming years electric vehicles will become a part of the transportation system in Europe. This contribution considers the impact of a penetration of electric cars on a distribution grid. For computations load profiles of electric cars (EC) are used by means of real battery measurements. A real low voltage grid data is used to show that security of supply could be ensured when there is a high penetration of electric cars. To forecast a certain charging demand reasonable scenarios are defined. Some conclusions and final remarks summarize the investigation presented in this paper.
